How VICTA can help if you’re
aged 14 to 17 years

VICTA organises youth activities for young people aged 14 to 17 years designed to improve emotional, social and living skills. You can take part in a range of  experiences which are both fun and meaningful, from outdoor activity breaks to international educational trips.

Grant applications can be made towards the purchase of equipment which helps with your visual impairment e.g. braillers, computers and magnification software.
